About this listen

BFE, where unicorns run free. Well, no, it's not a fairy tale podcast; we actually talk about the things that matter most to startups and VCs. We ask the tough questions of VCs and Founders, getting to the bottom of the real issues that surround money, financing, startups, and much more. Jessica King Bernstein joins her partners Randy "Took-a-Company-to-Wall-Street" Baker and Dr. Kent "Pull-Out-Your-Beating-Heart" Gustavson to roast and worship real ballers on every episode.© 2021 Thought Partner Group Economics Leadership Management & Leadership
